South Africa’s Biggest New Year’s Eve Parties

Spending New Year’s Eve in South Africa has perks you might not automatically think of. Sure, you’ll find the usual assortment of night clubs throughout the country putting on extra-big parties on December 31, and more than a few cities with great fireworks displays, but one thing you might forget if you live in the Northern Hemisphere is that December and January in South Africa are smack dab in the middle of summer. That means instead of bundling up to watch fireworks, you’ll be dancing barefoot on the beach and looking for ways to cool down.
